Light straw, greenish color. Clean on the nose with a touch of mixed citrus fruit. Crispy, fruity and refreshing in the mouth. The acidity of the Sauvignon is balanced by the fullness and length of the Semillón.
When more is better, it's hard to beat this crowd-pleasing Chardonnay from customer-favorite producer Astica. Fans of the subtly off-dry Astica Torrontès will find the Chardonnay drier, but every bit as effortless to quaff. Baked apple, and understated hazelnut aromas and flavors persist through a citrusy finish that caters to simple savories like salmon roe and parmesan crisps. Priced to please multiple guests, the Astica works well for book club get-togethers or blowout Bunco sessions.
Astica offers supreme value wines sourced from hand-harvested fruit from vineyards throughout the region of Cuyo; just to the east of the Andes Mountains. The 2014 Cabernet presents a ripe blackberry aroma with a smooth, round, fruity palate
